The Boxer

[00:06.35] I am just a poor boy
[00:08.69] Though, my story's seldom told
[00:11.83] I have squandered my resistance
[00:15.29] For a pocketful of mumbles
[00:17.76] Such are promises
[00:20.76] All lies and jest
[00:22.41] Still, a man hears what he wants to hear
[00:26.48] And disregards the rest
[00:30.77] When I left my home, and my family
[00:33.89] I was no more than a boy
[00:36.91] In the company of strangers
[00:40.10] In the quiet of the railway station
[00:43.62] Running scared
[00:46.09] Laying-low
[00:47.56] Seeking out the poorer quarters
[00:50.52] Where the ragged people go
[00:53.63] Looking for the places
[00:56.15] Only they would know
[01:00.00] La-la-la
[01:03.01] La-la-la-la-la-la-la
[01:06.14] La-la-la
[01:09.30] La-la-la-la-la-la-la
[01:12.05] La-la-la-la-la-la-la
[01:15.52] Asking only workman's wages
[01:18.67] I come looking for a job
[01:21.31] But I get no offers
[01:25.23] Just a come-on from the whores on 7th Avenue
[01:30.82] I do declare, there were times when I was so lonesome
[01:36.53] I took some comfort there
[01:40.41] La-la-la
[01:43.74] La-la-la-la-la-la-la
[01:46.88] La-la-la
[01:50.00] La-la-la-la-la-la-la
[01:52.68] La-la-la-la-la-la-la
[01:56.38] Then, I'm laying out my winter clothes
[01:59.75] And wishing I was gone
[02:02.44] Going home
[02:05.99] Where the New York City winters
[02:08.65] Aren't bleeding me
[02:11.71] Leading me (leading me)
[02:15.09] Going home
[02:17.85] Leading me (leading me)
[02:21.02] Going home
[02:24.13] Going home
[02:27.45]
